A tight setting with kafkaesque undertones makes for dreamlike cut into totalitarianism.

Interesting angle on old myths where civilization and nature tangle with humans in the midst. At times maybe a bit to plain a language for the occasion.

There are great aspects of life that calls for your attention in this feminist fantasy novel. A mesh of low and high fantasy creates an interesting plot. A whole lot of characters makes it hard to keep track, especially in audio book form.

A slowly told tale, beautifully written with characters that goes the way they please; not necessarily the way the reader wants.

3.0

Frantic and over-the-top action. Nicely done, but there’s not much time for the characters to develop. 
   A really nasty group of supervillains makes a mark, but you won’t get any explanation as to why they do what they do.

Great to get the original setting and cast of characters . At times a bit too lighthearted.

An intelligent, layered story where evil is disguised as myth and fantasy. Truly, this is a commentary that can be applied in any human society, sadly.

Thought provoking to a degree and the reader have to be alert. But there are a bit of weirdness just for the sake of it and especially a use of words that wants to be “difficult”, just for the sake of it as well.
